Latency with MIDI and Android tablets

I am planning on getting a new tablet which I hope to connect a keyboard to and use various MIDI apps. I've seen problems with latency on some tablets I've tried: there is a noticeable delay between pressing a key on the keyboard and getting a sound (I want to use the tablet for the sound rather than relying on the keyboard itself).

Are any tablets really good about regarding latency? I prefer stick with an Android tablet rather than going iOS, since I'm pretty entrenched in that ecosystem. And I'm on a bit of a budget.

Thanks Biggles. That's what I have heard, I still wonder if any Android tablets are better than others.

For one thing, I am building a web app that uses MIDIAccess (i.e. the web page can respond to pressing keys on the keyboard) and that only works on Chrome. Safari nor Chrome on iOS support it (Chrome on iOS isn't really the Chrome engine).
